"I always had an interest in tech, but other than my CU2 account I did not have any experience in coding whatsoever when I started at BSSA. Now I think working on the back-end is most fun. It sounds simple but it takes solid coding skills. It was really exciting to be able to do that. Overall I think this is a great career change for me to pursue!"

"The internet has lots to offer regarding learning how to code yourself. I tried and failed a lot. Practicing every day I reached a certain skill level in about a month. After that, I didn’t think I could improve any more by myself. Then I stumbled upon the BSSA. I loved coding there! Honestly, I can’t stop doing it. Almost daily you need to hand in an assignments, which is good because it keeps you sharp and helped me to learn really fast."

"I wanted a new challenge, something finicky, something I had to struggle for. I wanted to learn a hard skill and it needed to be a skill that gave me some freedom, because I have a lot of ambitions. Learning to code at BSSA is quite intense, but a lot of fun! It is a community kind of feel, I feel a lot of camaraderies. And I rediscovered an old passion of me which is math. It’s just a lot of fun to have these problems and solve them – like coding! I think a lot of people would like this."

“BSSA was a great environment to improve my programming skills and their network was really useful to find a great job where I could continue to develop myself. A lot of people try to figure coding out by themselves, but it goes so much faster in a classroom with classmates who are all focussed to become great coders."

Yes you can! We welcome international students. However, make sure you have the right permits to work during your 6 month traineeship.
Is the program fulltime or parttime?
Both the 3 month training and the 6 month traineeship are fulltime. Also take into account that learning a new skill is as rewarding as it is intensive, so make sure you have enough time for the occasional extra studying and recharging.
In what language will the course be given?
Be prepared! You will enter a international coding environment therefore all classes will be taught in English. All materials being provided during the course will also be in English.
Am I able to apply for other courses at another date?
We will provide multiple other courses in the near future. Stay tuned and visit our website regularly for updates.
Can I go on vacation during the course?
Learning a completely new skill in only 3 months requires full-time work and complete dedication from our students. Missing classes due to vacation is therefore not possible.
Can you help me to get a visum or work permit?
We welcome international students, but we do not offer support to help you obtain a visum, residence or work permit. All applicants are responsible themselves for obtaining the required permits to live and work in the Netherlands.
